To develop and adequately supervise a system of Christianschools union, where possible, in the higher grades including so faras practicable primary schools in every out-station, higher primaryschools where needed, and middle schools in strategic centres; theseschools leading up to and feeding a union college and university, sothat every section of the Christian community will be, as far aspossible, adequately served and will be led to contribute its quota ofboys and girls to be trained and educated for intelligent Christianservice and leadership, thus securing the largest possible results from,and rendering the greatest service to, the Christians on whoseevangelization so much has been spent, and thus also preparing inthe shortest possible time, a compactly .organi/ed Christian community to assume responsibility for the extension of the Kingdominto the regions which, for the present, because of our intensivepolicy, we must leave nnevangelized."An EfficiencHaving adopted and defined its policy HieCommittee mission appointed a committee called theefficiency committee, and, among other things,instructed it to report on just what, in detail, theapplication of the intensive policywill mean in each of ourstations." This committee at the last annual meeting ofthe mission was able to make only a partial report. Amongother things it reported :In attempting to learn just how much evangelisticMap-making and lower educational work must be carried on tooccupy our field in an intensive way the wholeterritory has been carefully mapped. Thirty-six out-station mapshave been made to the scale of one-half inch to the Chinese // andwith an outside limit for each map of 30 by 40 li, or roughly 10 by 13miles. These maps show the principal travel routes, roads, rivers,canals, etc., and on them are shown 3806 villages of which we havesecured estimates of population, and 1177 other villages for which wehave as yet not secured estimates of population. The number ofvillages per square mile has been reckoned, also the estimated villagepopulation per square mile. On these maps are also shown allout-stations of our own mission, the same for other missions, and, inaddition, the proposed out-stations recommended by the committee.The important features of these out-station maps are summarized onmain station maps, one for each of our five stations drawn to asmaller scale, and these again are reproduced on a larger wall map ofA 54
